Living Only to Mate

When you hear Living Only to Mate, you might think I am talking about people or animals, but in this case I am referring to the Luna Moth. According to Wikapedia, it goes through several different growth stages. It finally emerging as an adult that has no mouth, does not eat, and lives for about a week and only to mate. Lunas mostly comes out at night, but can be seen during the day.

This beautiful creature was sitting in my grass yesterday. I noticed it as I was walking by. I got my camera and shot a few photos. This one is a male as shown by the straight wing line across the top of its body. I was very excited to see it.

Nigel, thank you for letting me know. I turned my old site to be private. WP recommended that I don’t delete it, so it’s still floating out there. I changed to a new link and transferred everything to the new link. Please add my new link to your Reader feed and click follow. That should work. Sorry for the trouble Let me know if my new link works: https://theshowerofblessings.wordpress.com/
